Official Rules

Please note that all decisions made by judges are final. The official rules are intended as a guideline for spectators and participants.

Each contestant will be served a 9” diameter Key lime pie topped with whipped cream. You do not have to eat the whipped cream, but you must eat the entire pie.

You may not use your hands. They must be kept behind your back at all times. Use of hands will result in a warning, and maybe disqualification if you do it often and intentionally.

The contestant who finishes the pie in the shortest amount of time wins the contest. Judges will determine if the entire pie was completed, but as a rule of thumb, no portions of the pie measuring more than ½ inch should remain.

When a contestant believes they have finished the pie, they must stand up and put both arms in the air. Judges will immediately inspect the pie to verify.

Visible signs of sickness may result in disqualification.

In the event of a tie, the contestant wearing the most whipped cream and the biggest smile will be named the winner.

Contestants will be issued safety goggles. Things can get messy, so bringing an extra shirt is advised.
